CARBURETER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 691,955, dated January 28, 1902. Application filed May 11, 1901. Serial No. 59,768. (No model-l To 41% whom it may concern: leading to the carbureting-chamber Q and Be it known that I, FRANK L.

4. In a carbureter, the combination of an oil-feed cylinder, an air-pump cylinder, said cylinders "ertically disposed, a carburetingchamber separated from said cylinders, pipes to connect said cylinders with the carbureting-chamber, a trap in the oil-feed pipe, a fluid-check valve to vent said oil-feed cylinder connected to said oil-feed pipe, and a blow-off for said oil-feed cylinder, substantially as shown and-described.

5. In a carburetor, the combination of two vertically-disposed cylinders, one for supplying oil, the other air, a carbureting-chamber, means for regulating the amount of oil to the amount of air supplied to said chamber, and a fluid-sealed check-valve to vent said oilfeed cylinder, substantially as shown and described.

6. In a carbureter, the combination of a carbureting-chamber, an oil-feed cylinder and an air-pump, a pipe connecting the bottom of the carbureting-chamber with said air-pump, a pipe connecting the top of said carbureting-chamber With said oil-feed cylinder, said pipe containing a trap and also connected to a fluid-sealed vent-valve for said oil-feed chamber, a funnel connected to the oil-feed pipe, said oil-feed comprising a series of radial arms mounted on a shaft, cups on the end of each arm hat'ing weighted bottoms, means for upsetting said cups and means for rotating said shaft at a determinable speed as compared to the speed of the air-pump, substantially as shown and described.

7. In a carbureter, the combination of two vertically-disposed cylinders, one an oil-feed, the other an air-feed, a carbureting-chamber, pipes to connect said chamber with the oil and air feed cylinders, said oil-feed consisting of a plurality of radial arms mounted on a horizontal shaft, cups pivo'tally mounted at the ends of said radial arms, said cups being funnel-shaped and having their bottoms weighted, a funnel to receive the oil from said cups, said funnel being fixed to the end of said oil-feed pipe, and a fluid-sealed checkvalve to vent said oil-feed cylinder, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I hereto affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
